WHAT IF?

WHAT IF?

By Ken Simmons?

What if -- 301 intelligence officials hadn’t knowingly lied when they said the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian Disinformation?” It’s likely that Donald Trump would have won re-election in 2020 because many have said they would have voted differently had they known that the damning information contained in the Hunter Biden laptop was, in fact, verifiable and true.?

What if – It was known by the majority of Americans that there was never any truth to the “Trump Russia Collusion” narrative, that it was instead instigated by Hillary Clinton, who deliberately concocted the entire “Trump Russia Collusion” narrative to hurt Trump’s chances of defeating her in the 2016 election, and the impact of that collusion continued, having had a direct impact on the 2020 election, resulting in Joe Biden ascending to the presidency in that year.?

What if -- The Trump Russia Collusion narrative had never been told over and over again to the American public? However, because of those lies millions of Americans still believe that Donald Trump colluded with Russia, even though it has been thoroughly disproved through two Special Counsel investigations, led first by Robert Mueller, and next by John Durham, neither of whom were fans of Donald Trump. Sadly, there is an adage that states: “If a lie is told over and over again, it will eventually be viewed as truth,”?and those lies now begin to have a ring of truth because they have been repeated to so many Americans over the years.

To those in America who are well-informed and who have not yet succumbed to the lies of the left-wing media, it is now clear there is a two-tiered justice system in the U.S., in spite of the denials by Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Hillary Clinton. Have either Garland, or Clinton, paid a price, any price, for their deceptions regarding Trump Russia Collusion that had the nation embroiled in controversies that tore at the very fabric of America for more than two years? The obvious answer is, “Of course not.”?

What if -- The entire Russia Collusion hoax had not occurred and Donald Trump had begun his second term as the president of the United States?

America would have remained energy independent, and we would not be paying over $5.00 for a gallon of gasoline (well over $6.00 a gallon in California) because when Trump left office the price of gasoline stood at $2.23 per gallon. Because of those high energy prices, virtually everything that moves by truck, rail, or air, costs a great deal more today, and the average American family is spending nearly $8,000 a year more than they did when Trump was president.?

The “What Ifs” continue -- Had Donald Trump remained as president, America would not have experienced an invasion of somewhere between 6 and 8 million illegal aliens into our country, the majority of whom have never been vetted due to Joe Biden’s “Come one, come all, no questions asked” policy. Because of those policies, America's security has been irreparably compromised.

Trump had nearly completed the border wall, resulting in the most secure border in U.S. history. Instead, on Day 1, Biden said his administration would not pay for “one more foot of the border wall.” It is estimated that at the very least, of the 6 to 8 million illegal entries, some 3.8 million people have entered our country as “got-aways” since Joe Biden took office, and no one knows how many of those came from nations that wish America harm.?

The answers to all of the above “What If” propositions are that America would have remained energy independent, and in fact, a net exporter of American energy resources. Ironically, although America has more energy resources within our borders than any other nation in the world, we find ourselves buying dirtier oil from countries, including the little-known fact that America now purchases 3,000 barrels of oil daily from Iran. That very fact should anger most Americans.

Let’s see if we can explain the twisted logic of the Biden Administration, which has declared it intends to kill off the American energy industry and force us to cave in to Biden's Green Energy Cult. We are instead buying oil from other nations, although we know that American oil is cleaner than from any other nation. This means that we must go to greater, and costlier, lengths to refine the dirtier imported oil, the impact of which is higher energy prices in America, regardless of where that oil comes from.?

If this continues it will bankrupt American energy companies while enriching similar companies in other nations. This logic would even befuddle that great American philosopher Forrest Gump, who would loudly cry out “Stupid is as Stupid Does.”?

What if Biden’s deception had not resulted in his becoming president? America would still have a secure southern border, and between 6-8 million people would not have illegally invaded our nation, and America would not be facing between 70 to 100,000 Fentanyl deaths each year because a secure border would have greatly restricted the introduction of the drug that’s killing so many of America’s young people. ?

What if Trump was still president? America would not have experienced the humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan in August of 2021, and Afghan terrorists would not have paraded some $84 billion of our high-tech American military equipment through the streets of Kabul, rubbing our figurative noses in that debacle. In fact, we are learning that much of that same equipment is being reverse-engineered and sold to the highest bidder on the black market.?

Incredibly, Biden bragged about getting 70% of the Americans out of Afghanistan before the collapse. The fate of the remaining?30% is largely unknown, and those numbers include stranded Americans, as well as Afghans who were loyal to America, and reports of beheadings and slaughter of those left behind continues. The Biden administration has remained virtually silent about the matter since that withdrawal in 2021.???

Many in the intelligence community believe that the withdrawal in Afghanistan was a direct factor in Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine on February 24, 2022 because it reflected weakness in the administration in Washington. That may well be a factor should China decide to invade Taiwan, which is a free democratic nation with a powerful and robust economy.

It is a major concern to intelligence strategists that China may go through with its threats against Taiwan, and they may decide to do so before Donald Trump has a chance to return to the White House, as it was Donald Trump and his policies of peace through strength that had kept not only China, but North Korea and Iran in check, and would likely have done the same concerning Russia.?

Had Donald Trump remained in office America would never have bribed Iran with $6 billion dollars, in the hopes they will “play nice.” Yes, that money originally belonged to Iran, but it was being held to punish Iran for their record of being the world’s largest exporter of terrorism throughout the world.

Instead, because of the release of that $6 billion to Iran, it gave them incentives to coordinated with Hamas, and the attack against Israel that began on October 12, 2023, resulting in more than 1,100 Israeli deaths would likely have never happened. To date, there are at least 120 Americans missing, and their fate remains unknown.?

Incidentally, what are the five most frightening words in America today???They are “Joe Biden, Commander-in-Chief.”

Those words send chills down the spines of millions of Americans, because he is not only incompetent, and is possibly suffering from serious cognitive decline, but recent revelations may well give him the dubious distinction of being the most corrupt president in American history with at least $30 million dollars in influence peddling money having been funneled into some 20 shell corporations, with the sole purpose of hiding the money from the eyes of the American public.

All of the above "What Ifs" do little to soothe the nerves of a nation that, following the debacle that has been Joe Biden, can’t wait until Donald Trump returns to the White House in 2024.?
